November 9, 2025, Psalm 101:1-8
101 I will sing
of steadfast love and justice;
to you,
O Lord, I will make music.
2 I will ponder the way that is blameless.
Oh when
will you come to me?
I will walk with integrity of heart
within
my house;
3 I will not set before my eyes
anything that
is worthless.
I hate the work of those who fall away;
it shall
not cling to me.
4 A perverse heart shall be far from me;
I
will know nothing of evil.
5 Whoever
slanders his neighbor secretly
I
will destroy.
Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart
I will
not endure.
6 I will
look with favor on the faithful in the land,
that
they may dwell with me;
he who walks in the way that is blameless
shall
minister to me.
7 No one
who practices deceit
shall
dwell in my house;
no one who utters lies
shall continue
before my eyes.
8 Morning
by morning I will destroy
all the
wicked in the land,
cutting off all the evildoers
from the
city of the Lord.
These verses share David’s
deep desire to lead in a just way not only honoring human life but
wholeheartedly bring justice and fairness to his reign.
What does it look like to
live out a life ‘wholeheartedly’ according to God’s will?
